His back has changed a lot, but his shoulder are still quite uneven. I still have a long ways to go to get him more even and working correctly. But he has made quite a bit of progress in the last year.
He likes to fall through the left shoulder a lot and I find it interesting that it sits so much lower than the right. When he has had acupuncture done, she has done several adjustments on his shoulders. I also really need him lifting more up front to get the dips behind his withers to fill in. They are quite pronounced still, but I do think he has bulked up overall.
Ugh even shoulders are apparently a giant struggle .... Who knew??? Stinker looks great tho!
ReplyDeleteCharlie and Stinker like to stand the same way too. And thank you, I am really happy with how he looks.
DeleteHe has improved quite a bit. Carmen was very uneven at the start of last year. She's much better now. Interestingly, the farrier showed me that her feet are different too- her right front and left hind are very similar and same with the opposite diagonal but the front left and right are different (hope that makes sense). He says that it might show up in her way of going and the light bulb went off. :)
ReplyDeleteI am sure it is all related to how he moves. I am slowly getting him straighter. His hind used to trail right all the time (hence the crookedness in his back). It will be interesting to look at his feet. I have pictures of those from last March too.
DeleteI love that you do these! His shoulders definitely have made some progress.
ReplyDeleteI really like having them. I don't notice the very slow progress of muscle building so it is really nice to have.
DeleteHe's looking really great! I need to bribe someone at the barn into doing confo shots with me, I don't think I've done a progress post since like October.
ReplyDeleteI'm lucky that he will (mostly) stand in the AM when the barn is quiet.
DeleteYou know I'm all about that base...
ReplyDeleteAll about the base!
